mexico

Good morning. I am an alternative history buff but have always had doubts about how to write as realistically as possible. On Wikia/Fandom I have created alternate histories that have considered them ASB. :cool: My question is what weaponry, vehicles and aircraft, vessels could the Mexican...

How could the Spanish viceroyalties avoid breaking up and forming smaller countries after independence? They may lose some territory but overall the new country should be a modern version of the original viceroyalty. Mexico never loses it's southern territories, Gran Colombia remains intact...

OTL, James K Polk was a fierce American expansionist and pro-slavery politician. He was, however, not exactly stupid, and while he sought to take land from both Britain and Mexico, chose to negotiate with the former- technically i think he wanted to with Mexico as well but they weren't...

Okay, so I'm thinking more about the area now called Mexico than the area called Mexico in 1800. Though you can use the smaller one or expand to all of New Spain, if you think that works better. In all these threads about making Mexico more prosperous - whether as a world power or just a...

What if Ferdinand VII had accepted the position of King of Mexico when it was offered to him, establishing a personal union between Mexico and Spain? What would be the impacts on Spanish and Mexican politics? How would it affect the rest of the Latin American revolutions? Could the Mexican model...

Following the collapse of Spanish authority in its American colonies thanks to the Peninsular War, an attempt was made in the Viceroyalty of New Spain to create an autonomous junta presided by the imcumbent viceroy, José de Iturrigaray. Unfortunately, while this plan was supported by the local...

Suppose that Mexico has an easier time in the first few years after its independence (several PODs can be used for that, the best one probably being Vicente Guerrero accepting his defeat in the 1828 presidential election instead of launching a coup) to the point it is strong enough to avoid the...

As the title says, which of these now-defunct nations would survive the longest? The most obvious answer would be the CSA, which is exactly why it isn't on the list...

Basically the title. This wouldn't happen all at once, but perhaps the US takes more in the Mexican Cession, then takes more in the Gasden purchase? At this point, I can't really think of a way for the US to annex all of Mexico except for maybe some shenanigans happened with the Zimmerman...

And by prosperous I mean same GDP per capita and quality of life of a Western European nation and no massive drug cartels that control entire states.

Say that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo has different terms from OTL, for whatever reasons: Mexican negotiators successfully bluff, US negotiators feel stingy about the price tag, etc.. The result is that the Mexican Cession is much smaller: Mexico retains the lands west of the Rio Grande and...

What if Britain and France intervened in the U.S civil war on the side of the confederates. I think this would most likely mean the confederates win the war and become independent. Also without U.S pressure forcing the French to withdraw from Mexico, Maximilian most likely defeats Benito Juarez...

The California Gold Rush was one of the largest of all time, and led to a major population surge all over the southwestern US due to hopeful prospectors who wanted to make their fortune- and those who realized the best bet was to sell mining supplies to the suckers. The actual gold rush happened...

I'm working on a timeline where Texas remains Mexican until 1850, ends up with half the population it did in OTL (until possible after the 19th century) and has a lower gun ownership rate until 1840

On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln stated in a State of the Union address the viability of a federal territory for African-Americans in the United States. In the belief of Lincoln and the Union government at the time, the purchase of any land can help African-Americans live in a free society away...

Post-war Mexico was, like most Latin American countries, no easier than the past. Between the pre-Olympics Massacre in 1968, the oil shock, and the floor falling out from under the economy in 80's, it seems miraculous that no violent regime change broke out. Most of the violence was contained to...

I have some sort of interest about US history despite not being American, especially in the period of the Civil War. Most of it developed after watching some movies but any attention is good attention am I right guys? Anyway... I was thinking about it. The South had a lot of influence on the...

Was it possible for any other colonial power (England, France, etc.) to take the whole or at least parts of, Viceroyality of New Spain (or any other colonies) once the Spanish already possessed them? Or did they lack the manpower/will to do so?

Hello there. This is a timeline with a POD right before the elections of 1910 in Mexico, the POD is Diaz for reasons that crazy old mustached villain only knows decided to allow Madero to run for office which led to his victory. In the OTL, Diaz was worried about Madero's chances so this is a...
